I want to be bridal carried in Fernando's big, strong arms!

mte

When will we get a qt femboy healer slut for Ying and Skye to dominate?

Don't know what's wrong with your ears, but everyone's voice sounds like they're speaking into a pipe and is incredibly loud.

Also
>OW YESS"

These posts are getting lewd.

I want some fun meme builds.

Does anyone have fun meme builds?

left or right?

left
right looks like a dwarf

You could have one already if you are adventurous enough.

Which one has the more feminine penis?

neither, can't stand that guy's style

Neither, I'll stick to my amigo.

Idk if this is fixed already.

Yeah, sound engineering wasn't the best in few patches. They are fixing some issues in the next one, so maybe things are going to get better?
Spawn room chatter when?

Why i barely see buck and evie?

>spawn room chatter when
this
VEW's and VEG's are nice but i want BANTER

buck is bad

evie is hard

It's all about that Lex and Andro now.

Holy shit Maelstrom Grohk is hilarious

Enjoy it while you can, he's getting nerfed next patch.

Why does HiRez hate fun

Because fun isn't balanced.
Supposedly.

He's actually going to be better next patch, people that tried him on the pgetare saying that he gets his rmb crazy fast just by using his primary fire.
Hi-rez actually loves Grohk.

Isn't Grohk Drybear's main support character? With Kinessa being his usual damage?

Don't know about Drybear, but Pretty Hair likes him very much.

>Fernando skin #214
>Kinessa skin #32
>meanwhile Sha Lin gets an ugly t shirt and shades from some pro team no one cares

Not just some pro team! A pro team that no longer even exists!

Paladins esport skin.

Shades are ok, everything else is shit.

Smite esport skin.

Hi-Rez???

How can I get this one?

spend 400 crystals on it next patch

>Mal'Damba was released before Sha Lin and still doesn't have anything
>Tyra also got a skin before both of them
Victorian snek had better be good to make up for this.
I want a legit skin for Chink too.

Nobody can be worse than skye

No one

literally who and why

Interesting. With 800 I can buy this one and the Kinessa's too. Cool.

I'll be forever disappointed that it's not an actual burrito costume.

wasn't the first batch of smite skins literally just apollo/anhur t shirts

...

ye

Buck is shit because he has a shotgun with singular reload in a game where you can buy something that severely dampens his primary source of damage, and where healers have short cooldowns as well as mobility skills.

fuck,i guess i will just stick to maeve,androxus and evie

i really love mobility

i thought evie was "braindead"

Evie hasn't been "braindead" since like 6 months ago when they took out the ability to teleport while blocking.

Even then having to aim a projectile automatically made her more difficult than any hitscan baby character.

i bet it looks 10 times shittier in game

Is this inside a chest? I might only buy the shades if they are direct purchase

which evie card its the most annoying to vs?

default ice cube heal
double blink
or more flying?

replace damba's ult legendary with +50% reload speed and enemies no longer have stun immunity build up

replace evie's flying legendary with 10% slow on each hit with stacks

replace kinessa's consecutive shot legendary with faster and more accurate carbine shots

replace makoa's health legendary with doubled shell spin duration and being able to bounce off walls

Default Ice Cube heal. It's a full heal that cannot be cauterized.
Double blink is either too predictable if you teleport back to your original spot, or it's way too long a CD if you don't.
More flying is somewhere in the middle.

>let maldamba stunlock anyone
retarded
>let evie slow everyone
cancer
>give kinessa a better carbine
pointless
>pinball makoa
make it happen

>replace evie's flying legendary
kys

So are they going to shorten the distance offense has to walk from spawn on the ice level, or are they gonna leave it fucked?

>crash
>rejoin game
>everyone's a bot and invincible
palatards??????

Less points for winning defense when?

what, you want 0.5 points?

>8 points to win the game
>2 points for successful point capture
>2 points for successful payload push
>1 point for payload defence

literally perfect siege mode

oh yeah because a dumb -5 seconds on a movement ability is a totally interesting and original legendary
>retarded
except it was a playstyle that made him at least somewhat viable or interesting
now he has nothing
>cancer
how so
>pointless
dumbass
it makes her carbine meme build actually worth something instead of her just sitting there being flankbait the whole game

They should bring back Evie's old projectile speed.

It doesn't need to be interesting nor original as long as it's good and offers a different playstyle

how does it make anything any different? she literally has a card that can do more than her legendary does
legendaries ARE supposed to be interesting or original, or even a bit gamechanging, even if slightly
her blink and ice block are perfect legendaries because they alter her playstyle in a way that allows her to do more in some situations
a dumb +/- ability has no place in legendaries

is cassie default legendary that bad? extra damage on first shot roll looks less conditional than strike an airbone enemy with penetration

If you seriously can't tell the difference between an Wormhole Evie and an Over the Moon one, I heavily suggest playing her more.

tip: flying more.

like, seriously, nigger?
wormhole evie will always use Flicker IV for the sake of healing during fights only soaring if a hitscan champion that can keep track of her blinking is her foe, since she'll always be in close quarters with her target.

while an Over the Moon Evie has the chance of Soaring faster and longer, making retreating and attacking way less predictable. With a certain loadout, you may even soar into your enemy while zigzagging to get that last killing blow, without having to fear about Soar's cooldown.

>now he has nothing
maldamba's perfectly viable, he's a top pick in pro matches, and is doing fine in lower tiers.
if you deperately want to play a flank champion in the guise of a support pip exists and is also pretty good

best girl

-5s on something like Fernando's Charge would be amazing.

The problem with Over the Moon is that self-sustain is the entire reason that Evie is viable.

It seems you posted the wrong picture by mistake.

Worry not, though, I will gladly correct your mistake.

they've experimented with 8 points in the past, it made games drag on too long in some cases.

The team that caps the point gets enough credits for a Tier 1 item for everyone. That should be enough to win.

her default legendary is her best one

>except it was a playstyle that made him at least somewhat viable or interesting
he's already one of the best healers with the most flexibility, what are you talking about
>how so
giving a character with an aoe left click a slow on every hit is terrible, everyone would be perpetually slowed while fighting her
>it makes her carbine meme build actually worth something instead of her just sitting there being flankbait the whole game
even if she hits all her shots she doesn't have the burst nor health to survive from a flanker's burst damage, either you'd make her an excellent counter flanker when that should be her hard counter or she'd be unable to fend them off still and hence change nothing
>now he has nothing
if you think characters need some completely overpowered tool that guarantees easy kills you shouldn't be offering balance suggestions

in competitive games with double tanks, BGH is preferred for the burst. Even against squishies, BGH with full combo > enhanced roll with full combo.

If you suspect you're just going to poke a lot without committing, you can take her default though. It has a lot of synergy with her lifesteal on roll shot card.

We can all agree shes a slut right?

the thing is that burrito literally doesn't exist anymore

Well, it is canon...

>went from pale qtpi elf to mexican slut

shaking my h

>not liking brown elves

she looks MUCH BETTER now

Jesus fuck had a bunch of tongue chewing retard all buy cauterize when the enemy team had no healers, a torvald, and a ruckus

then what do you buy if the enemy doesnt have heal,shields or deployables?

cooldown reduction?

To be fair, Ruckus can self-heal during his emitters, and life rip is a popular card for him.

Lifesteal, damage reduction, utility like improve movement speed/faster ult recharge, shorter ability cooldowns? You don't have to buy offense items if the situation doesn't warrant it.

For example, when I play Grover, I don't actually touch Red or Green cards because I don't really need them. Or can't use them effectively.

Healers can get the rejuvenate bonus from their own healing. Kill to heal is a meme card. Unless you are hard flanking and need the burst healing to survive I don't ever recommend buying that card.

>Healers can get the rejuvenate bonus from their own healing
no

Curses, I thought I would get more players like others have when goading people into picking Aggression.

She looked a lot less like a slut before.

horse speed bonus looks like the most useless upgrade imo

Why did they remove Aggression?

To save people from themselves?

With all the swiping of Smite abilities the design team is doing, I'd rather they cut out the middleman and just important some of the Smite gods that would fit in with Paladins.
Dark Lord Wukong, the Grim X series, Stargazer Anubis, etc.

Honestly if you're having a really bad time it can help reduce the amount of time you are dead. Even in tournaments where supports are going to be easily taken out horse speed bonus is still needed to maintain momentum even when the enemy team got a few pickoffs.
I assume so. Now if only they made it so characters with infinite ammo are unable to buy deft hands and have the inventory screen pop up by default and have it be in the tutorial the game would be alot more idiotproof. Plus 99% of the time it was objectively worse than wrecker and cauterize for all heroes so gameplay wise it was redundant.

Did they darken Kinessa's model and portrait? She wasn't THAT black before

Its not fixed because it requires you to use defiance

What is the least shit build for Cheeky Nandos right now?

it started an arms race with the damage reduction items that just based on the numbers not only put aggression buyers at a disadvantage but also forced them into it when the enemies took blast shields or haven

the thing about it is it's basically never a waste to get it but in many if not most situations depending on the team compositions you could be better off taking another yellow item instead
for example tier 1 or 2 master riding can be a very good way to get your team's frontline or support back into the fight if they get picked off early on which could seriously change the flow of a game
even then flanks and damages could both benefit from getting back into the fight quicker as well

yes, keep spreading this info. I love it when no one in the enemy team buys master riding and I'm playing Barik.

boob pasties skins when

Boob pasties on dfc Maeve please.

Is competitive secretly the best mode in the game? No five stacks, no mirror matches, people playing the objective, good stuff.

You shouldn't lie, Competitive is just casual with no mirror matches and saltier people.

>people playing the objective
I don't think we're playing the same competitive mode
